Introduction to DTV  
A BriefLook at Broadcastand Digital Television  
Broadcast television isa traditional wayof watching TVprograms  
simply by installingan antenna. This is calledanalog TV.In recent years,  
many countries havebegun to mandatea transition fromanalog to digital  
television. Digital TV provides noise-free,high-definition picture  
quality, DolbyAC-3 soundeffects, and ahandy EPG (electronicprogram  
guide). Andthe 16:9 videoformat gives awider view thanthe traditional  
4:3 format. ManyTV broadcasters are now deliveringdigital TV  
programs, so switchingto a digitalHDTV receiver nowmakes good sense.  
Digital TV programs are broadcaston both VHF and UHF frequency bands.  
Traditional analog TV uses one frequency channelto carry asingle  
station's program. With digital TV, one frequencychannel can carryup to  
four station programs. For example, analogchannel CBS 2may have  
become 2-1, 2-2, etc. when broadcastin digital TV. Channel 2is the maj  
or channel andchannel -1, -2, etc. are thesub-channels.  
Digital TV signals are transmittedin either free-to-air(FTA) or pay-per-  
view (PPV) mode. FTAprograms are receivedfree with anMPEG 2-ATSC  
compliant digital receiver, such as the HDTV-ST. PPV programs canbe  
received only bypaying an accessfee to thebroadcaster and byusing a  
digital receiver incorporatinga compatible conditionalaccess system.  
In addition, theHDTV-STlets you watchHDTV, EDTV, and SDTV  
digital TV programs.  
*HDTV stands for HighDefinition Television; the commonvideo  
formats are "1920x 1080 interlaced"and "1280 x720 progressive".  
*EDTV stands for EnhancedDefinition Television; the commonvideo  
format is "720x 480 progressive".  
*SDTV stands for StandardDefinition Television; the commonvideo  
format is "720x 480 interlaced".

Pixels Policy  
Syntax's D.O.A. Policy for LCD TVs for  
Defective Pixels on LCD Panels  
(Applicable to the LCD TV sold within USA & Canada only)  
SyntaxTM LCD TVs are evaluated at a distance of approximately 50 centimeters  
(approximately 20 inches) between the LCD panel and the eyes of the user at a  
90 degrees viewing angle. All LCD panels have been tested to ensure they  
comply with our factory standards. Our evaluation is based on the number of  
defective pixels and the distance between any two defective pixels. Bright dots  
are dots that appear bright and unchanged in size when a LCD TV screen  
displays under a black pattern; dark dots are dots that appear dark and  
unchanged in size when a LCD TV screen is displayed under pure red, green,  
or blue patterns ("defective pixels"). Adjacent dots are dots located directly  
next to each other.  
Customers are required to check their LCD panel immediately after purchase.  
To identify defective pixels, the LCD panel should be examined under normal  
operating conditions as mentioned above, preferably in its native display  
resolution, and with a 90 degrees viewing angle.  
A LCD TV will be considered dead on arrival (D.O.A.) with regards to defective  
pixels on the LCD panel when any one of the following criteria is met:  
A total of 7 defective pixels including both bright dots and dark dots are  
present (the typical 30" LCD Television screen has 16.7 million pixels), or  
2 or more pairs of adjacent bright dots are present, or  
3 adjacent bright dots are present, or  
3 adjacent dark dots are present.  
In view of customers' concerns about dead pixels, Syntax would like to address  
that defective pixels are not ultimately avoidable with the current LCD industry  
standard panel manufacturing processes. We always strive to improve our  
technology and minimize the chance of occurrence of defective pixels by  
applying strict screening processes in our factory production processes.  
However, Syntax cannot guarantee that a return unit to our customers will be  
100% free of defective pixels.  
For questions, please call our toll free service number in the USA at 888-SYNTAX-8.  
"At SyntaxGroups, a satisfied customer is our  
most important focus."
